How to Raise a Loaf

How to Raise a Loaf

A new generation is discovering the chewy texture and rich flavour of real bread, and sourdough is one of the biggest stories in food.

You don’t need to be an expert baker to make your own sourdough at home; though once you’re hooked, and want to get fancy, the book will tell you what lames, bannetons, brushes and stones to invest in.

The book makes the key techniques of traditional baking easy to understand, with step-by-step photo instructions and a simple overview of the magical processes that turn wild yeasts into a living baker’s starter, and a bowl of flour into a glowing crusty loaf.
